CHAPTER 209: CHAPTER 209: THE PRICE

Taking advantage of Mrs. Jiang’s inattention, Gu Nian pulled Cuihua aside, "Cuihua, go to my uncle’s house and check. If anyone from the Wang Family dares to make a move, make sure to protect my father. Don’t let him get hit, and of course, protect yourself too."

Who would have thought, Mrs. Jiang happened to come out from the house, and she heard everything clearly.

"You little girl, you only care about your father. Why don’t you worry a bit about your mother, me?" Mrs. Jiang said, feeling aggrieved, "He’s so cocky, where does he need you to worry about him? Besides, this is our Taohua Village. Even if the people from Little Xizhuang are tough, they can’t bully us here. The village chief and the clan members aren’t pushovers!"

Gu Nian smiled to please her, "Mother, you’ve misunderstood me. You know I care about you the most."

"You and your sweet mouth," Mrs. Jiang gave her a sidelong glance but didn’t say anything else.

As soon as Sanhu and Little Hu came back from outside, Gu Nian pulled them aside, "Third brother, young brother, how has the main hall sister-in-law’s issue been handled?"

"Why are you asking about this?" Sanhu asked.

"I’m just gossiping a bit!" Gu Nian answered.

Little Hu looked at the two of them and couldn’t figure anything out, so he said, "The main hall sister-in-law was just taken back. Village chief uncle said there’s no one in Little Xizhuang who bullies like that, or else who would dare marry daughters from Little Xizhuang!"

Of course, he didn’t quite understand what these words meant, but he had a good memory and remembered the village chief’s words clearly.

Gu Nian was a bit surprised.

She thought Mrs. Wang had already caused such a big fuss to the point of threatening suicide. She would be kept back this time.

Gu Nian was underestimating the ancient emphasis on legacy.

Don’t even say Mrs. Wang was just a daughter-in-law, even if it was one’s own son daring to share their money-making avenues with others, they would be expelled from the family.

It’s just, pity that child who was just over a year old.

Sanhu was clever to the core, and Little Hu couldn’t express things clearly, so in the end, Gu Nian didn’t know the exact details, only that Mrs. Wang was brought back, meaning the Wang Family did not agree to stop making sausages.

Can Gu Nian let the Wang Family take advantage of this?

Of course not.

Hence, she planned to change her strategy.

In the afternoon, Gu Nian and Lin Sanshui went to town together.

Zheng Shaochen had been waiting at the restaurant and smiled as soon as he saw them.

"Girl, this gentleman has been waiting for you quite a while!" Zheng Shaochen stepped forward, saying, "You really make this gentleman see you in a new light. Honestly, do you have anything else good?"

Gu Nian smiled slightly, "Not for now, but whether there will be in the future depends on... whether Mr. Zheng is sincere enough!"

Gu Nian tantalized him, and Zheng Shaochen immediately said, "As long as you bring out good items, after all, we’re familiar with each other. It’s better to collaborate with this gentleman than with others, lest you get schemed against, isn’t it?"

"Mr. Zheng is joking." Right now, Gu Nian really wasn’t worried, for nearby Nan Jin Yu had promised to protect her, and far away, Gu Bei said whoever bullies her, write their name down, he’d take revenge when he returns.

The group entered the elegant room, and soon enough, the dissatisfied voice of Zheng Shaochen was heard, "Though these meatballs taste good, the price is too high, isn’t it?"

Pork only costs around ten coins a pound, yet she dared to price these meatballs at sixty coins!

"For Qinglin Restaurant, it’s not expensive. After all, which dish of meat in Qinglin Restaurant doesn’t cost a few liang of silver, right?" Gu Nian almost solved the problem by herself, hardly needing Lin Sanshui’s input, "Of course, if Qinglin Restaurant doesn’t want them, we can approach other restaurants. I believe they wouldn’t reject these."
